Thank you to all our Filmmakers, Panelists, Partners, and Sponsors who maDE the 2022 edition of the Nova Frontier Film Festival a big success!

We celebrated our 5th anniversary, back in person in partnership with the Billie Holiday Theatre, with films, panels, and heartfelt conversations centered around the theme of Exile and Belonging.
